Live Blood Analysis: A Controversial Medical Testing Method
In recent years, some medical clinics in New Zealand have introduced a so-called "live blood analysis" (LBA) method, claiming to be able to diagnose diseases quickly by examining blood samples under a microscope. However, this method is plagued with serious scientific and reliability issues.
According to the clinic's explanation, they observe changes in the shape of red blood cells under a microscope to determine whether a patient has certain diseases. However, many experts have pointed out that the test results often do not align with actual conditions, potentially misleading both doctors and patients.
For instance, one doctor incorrectly diagnosed a patient with anemia based on this test, while the patient was actually healthy. Similar cases are not uncommon, leading to confusion and worry among many patients who may have been misled.
Another concern is that this "live blood analysis" method could put additional strain on New Zealand's healthcare system. Since the results often contradict reality, many people have had to undergo routine blood tests, increasing the burden on the healthcare system.
Moreover, the clinics' advertising clearly states that test results cannot be used as a basis for diagnosis and claims that it only provides a "snapshot of overall health." However, some doctors have been using these results to make treatment decisions in practice, which is clearly irresponsible behavior.
A medical expert has emphasized: If they use the test results from this method to formulate medical plans or diagnose patients, they may face legal consequences. Even if they do not make formal diagnoses based on it, they could still be held accountable for misleading patients.
Currently, New Zealand authorities are investigating these clinics to determine whether any violations of professional conduct have occurred. If any healthcare professionals are found to be exaggerating results or misleading patients in the use of this method, they will be subject to legal action.
In conclusion, "live blood analysis" not only raises serious scientific concerns but could also have severe negative impacts on patient health and the normal operation of the healthcare system. Medical professionals must strictly adhere to professional ethics and avoid using unverified testing methods.
